I will just tell you that the only way to be done with strife, envy, doctrines of men, traditions, authority, sola this and sola that, bitterness, anger, jealousy, visions, signs, miracles, priests, extra-biblical doctrines, confusion, angst, fear, and just general mayhem among ALL Churches is very simple. Rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Understanding God's way of dealing with man from the beginning to the end. Knowing where we are and who we are and what our promises are in God's plan. Knowing our time in God's Plan. And living in it. With it's promises and commission for this time. Knowing where it came from, when it started and why, and when it is going to end.
It's when we try to make someone's else's plan and promises ours and try to hammer them into today's plan that all the problems start. We've brought all the pain, confusion and heartbreak on ourselves. Simply because we refused to heed God' Word. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."(2 Timothy 2:15).

While what you say sounds good to me, a lot of people who completely agree have made divisions among themselves. It seems to come down to who gets to say what's "rightly" and what's "wrongly"?
I think the "Magisterium" has done a heck of a job at it, myself.
